Diagnostic cardiac catheterization is a minimally invasive procedure in which a cardiologist guides thin, flexible tubes called catheters through a blood vessel — typically at the wrist, groin, or neck — and into the heart to gather precise measurements that non-invasive scans cannot reliably provide. It is considered the reference standard for directly measuring blood pressure inside the heart's chambers and major vessels, sampling oxygen levels at different points, and imaging the coronary arteries or heart structures using contrast dye under X-ray guidance. The test is recommended when echocardiography, cardiac MRI, or CT scans have not fully answered the clinical question — for example in evaluating coronary artery disease, valve disease severity, pulmonary hypertension, heart failure of unclear cause, or complex congenital heart defects in children. Most adults are awake but comfortably sedated throughout; children typically receive general anaesthesia. The procedure usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, and most patients are discharged the same day or the following morning.
Estimated cost: ~$100 – $200
